Pysanky

17 April 2022.Reading time 9 minutes.

I love pysanky. They’re beautiful, elegant, and just look like tiny, delicate celebrations brought to life on the surface of eggshells. Spring and easter; they’re colorful little blessings in the modern world.

Veles Day

16 December 2020.Reading time 2 minutes.

Yesterday was “Veles’ Day”, so to say. I ended up having some major stuff come up over the weekend prior, and I had some fairly major dental work done over the last week and a second appointment yesterday. All in all, not conducive to major workings or preparation. That means, I didn’t do anything major […]

Slavic Winter Season

2 December 2020.Reading time 4 minutes.

We’re approaching that time of year (middle-end of December) where Veles is considered a focus on the “Slavic Calendar”. I love winter anyways–I’ve mentioned this before. It really is the best time of year in my opinion. Normally I don’t do anything super special or big, because I just don’t have room, time or space […]

Season Theme

22 November 2020.Reading time 12 minutes.

The season time from October to Thanksgiving (including Halloween!) is spooky season. Which means fun trips and fun spooky-themed things to do. I went to Port Townsend the weekend my computer died (I am working on editing photos, so I might post some). Apparently, it’s super haunted, and I apparently stayed in a haunted hotel. […]

Spooky Season!

3 October 2020.Reading time 14 minutes.

It is officially the best season of the year! Yes, I know technically autumn/fall started like 12 days ago based on the solstice. That’s fine from a technically correct and astronomical point of view. Don’t care. Doesn’t affect me really, not with how I go about my workings. I’m not 100% bound to the seasons […]

Painful Holidays

21 June 2020.Reading time 7 minutes.

Today is super painful for me. Father’s Day is supposed to be about celebrating your father/dad and how he raised you well, how he loved you unconditionally, how he just always had your back and did everything for you that he could to make life good. And in an ideal world, I’d get to celebrate […]

Christmas Spirit

13 December 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

I’m as much in the Christmas spirit as I can manage this year! Basically, it has been a kind of busy, hectic year. Lots of changes. And lots of upheaval. I also had to go through a rough few months with a lot less money than I was making before. I’m getting back on track, […]

Happy Halloween

31 October 2019.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Happy Halloween! In honor of Halloween, I’m posting the funniest video I’ve found all week. This group does great jobs on all of these (or at least all the videos I’ve watched), and this is just another great one in the series. And this time around–two of my favorite personas: fictional Count Dracula and historical […]

Seasons Blessings

6 January 2019.Reading time 6 minutes.

My grandma spent a lot of time each year setting up her Christmas village. It’s one of my favorite memories, actually; seeing the village all lit up and decorated. Maybe your family did something similar–setting up the array of Department 56 porcelain village houses, businesses, accessories and people. My grandma had a massive collection of […]
